Not the best picture TBH.

Stern and lack of emotion looking. At that moment.

Exactly what the City hating media want to see.

At least the picture taker got the money shot and won't have to work for the foreseeable future

With a 10 FPS motor drive camera and a long lens they could have posted a picture of them all smiling. They would have had 100's of pictures to choose from but they choose this one.
 
Glad it's back looking forward to all the links about how well behaved City and Inter were. The in depth reports of why trouble seems to follow liverpool. That City and Inter showed the dippers how to behave.

Even with the transport problems still no trouble

So post the links lads and lasses

Very often, the headline and summary can be different to the body of the article. Someone in the industry explained that previously, as the editors choosing not the writers. If more people out there read the full thing (of some of the articles, not all), the headlines maybe wouldn't stick as much.

Either way, people will most likely either read the whole thing or not, regardless of whether there is a link to it or not, so it is a bit of a niche argument.

Not sure I get your point here mate.

I completely get that headlines are written by editors, not by the journalists who wrote the actual content, and are designed to provoke interest.

So are you saying we should post links to full articles as a method of somehow trying to reduce the reactionary headlines?

I’m really not sure that’s how it works, with respect.

Surely all that would achieve is to validate the approach that the headline on the link made people click to read the content?

Maybe I’m missing something in your post though, as I’m sure that can’t be your point!

Your monthly reminder to…

STOP POSTING LINKS TO NEGATIVE ARTICLES ABOUT CITY

If you must share them for some reason, post a screenshot (of only the headline and summary paragraph, anything more will be deleted to avoid copyright claims against the forum).

Posting the link just gives them more engagement, which is exactly what they want, only serving to incentivise more negative articles in the future.

I am convinced that half of the negative articles written about City get most of their engagement from City fans rage-sharing them on here, Twitter, Reddit, and elsewhere.

Can we make this a pinned post IN CAPITALS so it’s the first thing everyone sees. We’ve got to stop feeding the media
